If you are searching on the internet to validate the company ‘Capital Motor Global
Holdings Ltd’ for delivering a new car to you, as a result of ‘the owner’ offering
to have it delivered to you for a 5 day trial BE VERY WARY!
I recently was scammed by an imposter( supposedly based in Germany), who told me
the car was in St Austell, to view, but if too far away, they would arrange for a
company to deliver it, for a 5 day free trial. However, they want you to transfer the
full amount into a holding account (which it is not), until you agree to keep the car.
I was communicated to by email, and I was given the name, address, telephone no &
website of the company who would deliver: Capital Motor Global Holdings Ltd’
These were the details:
Here you have the company details, Capital Motors Global Holdings Limited email:
support@hgci-intermediatelimited.co.uk, phone no: 01908886144
Website: www.hgci-intermediatelimited.co.uk
I checked the website out and it looked professional, and seemed to say that this was
what they do. I checked with companies House, and they were registered in 2003. The
company seemed legitimate.Also gave details of company directors.
But when the time cam e for the car to be delivered, (convenient for them, a
Saturday), it wasn’t.
Subsequent investigation, suggests that ‘Capital Motor Global Holdings Ltd’ are a
genuine company, but a ‘holding’ company, and are unlikely to know that their name
and details are being used for a scam.
I have since written to the company at their registered office to warn them.
Needless to say, I have reported this to the police, Auto Trader and my bank, and I
hope they pursue and arrest the persons concerned.
I hope this blog also helps to avoid someone getting caught as I was.
